City of SF: "We are the Nanny City and we think selling fast food to youngsters is terrible. So we are targeting one in particular, the Happy Meal. From now on, you cannot include a free toy in any meal with over 600 calories that does not include fruit or vegetables."

McDonalds: "OK, we will now sell the Happy Meal without a toy. And because the Toy is so popular, we will also sell a Toy for ten cents, proceeds to charity."

City of SF: "Great victory!"

McDonalds: "Oh and one more thing: you can no longer buy a Toy separately. You can only buy a Toy if you also buy a Happy Meal. We think we will sell more Happy Meals than ever. Thanks SF!"

City of SF: "What?"
